Delve a little into the history behind this small village in Lincolnshire and you will soon find its hugely important link to America.

High Toynton is a ‘doubly thankful' village, it is one of only 14 churches in the UK where all the men came back from both World Wars. Included in the church is a bank of Living Memories, which includes a resident's diary of 1939 to 1941.
The manor of Scrivelsby is held by a form of tenure which requires the performance of a service rather than a money payment, in this case as the Kings or Queens Champion.

The Champion would throw down his gauntlet to prove he would fight to the death anyone who did.
